I was chatting with the good folks at ECSTuning.com and they mentioned that H&R has a wheel Stud kit. I haven't purchased yet, but it is a bit cheaper than the kit listed below.

I'll do a bit more research and see if I can find any more info out...

Update: Spoke to the guys at H&R - very helpful. Here is a link to the kit:

H&R Introduces Quick-SafeŽ Bolt-Stud Conversion Sets | Press || H&R Special Springs, LP

They just need to know what length stud that is needed. I think 50mm would be about right - anyone confirm for a stock wheel setup?

If anyone needs to remove their locking nuts without a key.

I have the tool if you'd like to buy it at a 50% discount ~$17.

I only needed to use it one time x4 bolts to remove my Lockers when the previous owner could not find the key for me.
I comes with 2 remover sockets for different type lockers, and a short bar to tap the locker out of the socket after its removed.

The stuff I posted may not actually work. While ECS said these woudl work, I called H&R - They claimsthat the lug nuts are for VW and Audi, and will NOT work with Porsche. They do not make a Porsche compatible lug nut.

I went to Rennline and found exactly want I needed:

Competition Wheel Stud Conversion Kit-Rennline, Inc.

Great kit, comes with nuts and studs, and made for a Boxster. I ordered and will install likely next weekend!!
